University of Chicago Hits Students' G Spot With Admissions Essay

By Elizabeth C.

SO IT'S OFFICIAL: THE IDEA OF BEING FILLED UP "WITH THAT GOOEY SAP YOU FEEL LATE AT NIGHT" RESONATES WITH INCOMING COLLEGE FRESHMEN.

Just weeks after catching the media spotlight for sending out a sexually suggestive admissions essay as an example to applicants, the University of Chicago is reporting a whopping 42 percent increase in applications for next fall.

While news reports attribute the jump to "everything from more far-flung outreach to publicity that comes with having President Barack Obama as a former faculty member," we're giving the credit to the new Admissions Dean James G. Nondorf for finding students' G spot.

In December, the school's admissions department sent out to prospective students an essay by someone named "Rohan" who took the approach of wooing an elusive love interest.

"Dear University of Chicago, It fills me up with that gooey sap you feel late at night when I think about things that are really special to me about you," the essay opened.

"Tell me, was I just one in a line of many? Was I just another supple 'applicant' to you, looking for a place to live, looking for someone to teach me the ways of the world?'

The New York Times and the website Gawker reported on parents and students' reactions to the essay found at College Confidential.
